Description

本発明は、超薄膜ベリリウム箔及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to an ultra-thin beryllium foil and a method for manufacturing the same.

ベリリウム箔は、X線や電子線の透過率が高いことから、X線発生装置のX線用窓材や電子線発生装置の電子線用窓材として用いられている(例えば特許文献1参照)。こうしたベリリウム箔は、厚さが薄いほど透過率が高くエネルギーロスも小さいことから好ましい。   Beryllium foil is used as an X-ray window material for an X-ray generator and an electron beam window material for an electron beam generator because of its high X-ray and electron beam transmittance (see, for example, Patent Document 1). . Such beryllium foil is preferable because the thinner the thickness, the higher the transmittance and the smaller the energy loss.

特開平6−260121号公報JP-A-6-260121

しかしながら、ベリリウムは、一般の金属材料と異なり、延性が小さく、室温で塑性加工することは困難である。具体的には、酸化防止のためにステンレス鋼板などのシースで原料のベリリウム板を挟み込んだ状態で加熱し、圧延機に挿入することが考えられるが、その場合には、ベリリウム箔がステンレス鋼板と密着し、剥離する際に、ベリリウムが破れたり、加熱により鋭敏化したステンレスが脱落し、ベリリウムに押し込まれ貫通したりすることで、ベリリウムに穴が生じ、それが窓材として必要な真空気密性を阻害する欠陥となる。この点を改善しようとして、ベリリウム板とシースとの間に密着防止のための固体潤滑剤を塗布すると、最終的に固体潤滑剤がベリリウム箔の表面に残ってX線や電子線の透過率に悪影響を及ぼすことがあった。なお、例えば、特許文献1の特許請求の範囲には厚さが10〜100μmの範囲のベリリウム箔を用いた真空容器が記載されているものの、実施例で用いられているベリリウム箔は厚さが60μmのものと89μmのものにすぎない。   However, unlike general metal materials, beryllium has small ductility and is difficult to be plastically processed at room temperature. Specifically, for prevention of oxidation, it is conceivable that the raw material beryllium plate is sandwiched between sheaths such as a stainless steel plate and inserted into a rolling mill. When adhering and peeling, the beryllium breaks, or the stainless steel that has been sensitized by heating falls off, being pushed into the beryllium and penetrating into it, creating a hole in the beryllium, which is the vacuum tightness required as a window material It becomes a defect that inhibits. In order to improve this point, if a solid lubricant for preventing adhesion is applied between the beryllium plate and the sheath, the solid lubricant will eventually remain on the surface of the beryllium foil, resulting in an increase in the transmittance of X-rays and electron beams. There was an adverse effect. For example, although the vacuum vessel using the beryllium foil having a thickness in the range of 10 to 100 μm is described in the claims of Patent Document 1, the beryllium foil used in the examples has a thickness of They are only 60 μm and 89 μm.

本発明はこのような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、厚さ10μm程度でありながら欠陥密度が小さくかつ、リーク量が小さく真空気密性に優れた大面積のベリリウム箔を提供することを主目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and provides a large-area beryllium foil having a small defect density, a small leak amount, and an excellent vacuum tightness while having a thickness of about 10 μm. The main purpose.

本発明者らは、厚肉のベリリウム板を熱間圧延加工を繰り返すことにより薄肉化して厚さ10μm程度のベリリウム箔を製造する方法を鋭意検討した。その結果、シースとベリリウム板との間に固体潤滑剤として窒化ボロン(BN)を塗布すると、圧延加工時にシースとベリリウム箔とが密着するのを防止すると共に欠陥密度を有効に抑制できることを見いだした。また、熱間圧延加工を繰り返し行うにあたり、シースの延性が低下する前に新たなシースでベリリウム板を挟み直す必要があるが、その際にベリリウム板をある厚さまで薄肉化したら、それ以降はBNを用いることなく目的とする10μm程度の厚さに仕上げることが最終品にBNを残留させないのに有効であると共に、BNを使用していないにもかかわらず、シースとベリリウム板との密着がほとんど起こらなくなることを見いだした。こうした知見をもとに、本発明者らは本発明を完成するに至った。   The inventors diligently studied a method for manufacturing a beryllium foil having a thickness of about 10 μm by thinning a thick beryllium plate by repeating hot rolling. As a result, when boron nitride (BN) was applied as a solid lubricant between the sheath and the beryllium plate, it was found that the sheath and beryllium foil were prevented from sticking during rolling and the defect density could be effectively suppressed. . In addition, when the hot rolling process is repeated, it is necessary to sandwich the beryllium plate with a new sheath before the ductility of the sheath is lowered. If the beryllium plate is thinned to a certain thickness at that time, then BN Finishing to the target thickness of about 10 μm without using BN is effective in preventing BN from remaining in the final product, and in spite of the absence of BN, there is almost no adhesion between the sheath and the beryllium plate. I found that it didn't happen. Based on these findings, the present inventors have completed the present invention.

本発明の超薄膜ベリリウム箔の製造方法は、ベリリウム箔とステンレス鋼からなる一対のシースとの間に固体潤滑剤である窒化ホウ素(BN)を塗布してなる積層体を作製し、該積層体の熱間圧延加工を繰り返し行う、第1の圧延工程と、ベリリウム箔とステンレス鋼からなる一対のシースとの間にBNを塗布することなく積層体を作製し、該積層体の熱間圧延加工を繰り返し行う、第2の圧延工程とを実行するにあたり、ベリリウム箔の厚さが15〜60μmの間で定められた所定のしきい値以下になっていない場合には、前記第1の圧延工程を繰り返し実行し、その後、ベリリウム箔の厚さが前記しきい値以下になった場合には、前記第2の圧延工程をベリリウム箔の厚さが5〜20μmの間で前記しきい値より小さい値に定められた目標厚さになるまで繰り返し実行するものである。   The manufacturing method of the ultra-thin beryllium foil of the present invention produces a laminated body obtained by applying boron nitride (BN), which is a solid lubricant, between a beryllium foil and a pair of sheaths made of stainless steel. A laminate is produced without applying BN between the first rolling step and the pair of sheaths made of beryllium foil and stainless steel, and the hot rolling of the laminate is repeated. When the thickness of the beryllium foil is not less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value determined between 15 and 60 μm in performing the second rolling step, the first rolling step is repeated. Is repeated, and when the beryllium foil thickness is less than or equal to the threshold value, the second rolling step is performed with the beryllium foil thickness being between 5 and 20 μm and less than the threshold value. Target set by value This is repeated until the thickness is reached.

本発明の超薄膜ベリリウム箔は、厚さ5〜20μm、面積1000mm2以上、光透過により測定される欠陥個数がゼロのものでかつ、リーク量が1×10−10Pa・m/sec以下である。 The ultra-thin beryllium foil of the present invention has a thickness of 5 to 20 μm, an area of 1000 mm 2 or more, the number of defects measured by light transmission is zero, and the leak amount is 1 × 10 −10 Pa · m / sec or less. is there.

本発明の超薄膜ベリリウム箔の製造方法では、ベリリウム箔の厚さが所定のしきい値以下になっていない場合には、BNの塗布を伴う第1の圧延工程を繰り返し実行する。この第1の圧延工程では、ベリリウム箔とこれを挟み込む一対のシースとの間に固体潤滑剤としてのBNが介在しているため、圧延加工後にベリリウム箔とシースとが密着して剥がすのが困難になるという事態を招くことはない。一方、ベリリウム箔の厚さが目標厚さになるまで第1の圧延工程を繰り返すと、最終的に得られるベリリウム箔にBNが残存してX線や電子線の透過性能に悪影響を及ぼすおそれがあるが、本発明では、ベリリウム箔の厚さが所定のしきい値以下になったあとはBNの塗布を行わない第2の圧延工程を実行するため、最終的に得られるベリリウム箔にBNが残留しない。また、第2の圧延工程では、BNを使用していないにもかかわらずシースとベリリウム板との密着がほとんど起こらないし、欠陥の発生も有効に抑制される。その結果、本発明の製造方法によれば、厚さ10μm程度でありながら欠陥密度が小さくかつ、リーク量が小さく真空気密性に優れ、圧延加工時の固体潤滑剤が残留しないベリリウム箔が得られる。   In the manufacturing method of the ultra-thin beryllium foil of the present invention, when the thickness of the beryllium foil is not less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, the first rolling process with BN coating is repeatedly executed. In this first rolling step, BN as a solid lubricant is interposed between the beryllium foil and a pair of sheaths sandwiching the beryllium foil, so that it is difficult for the beryllium foil and the sheath to come into close contact with each other after the rolling process. The situation of becoming will not be invited. On the other hand, if the first rolling process is repeated until the beryllium foil thickness reaches the target thickness, BN may remain in the finally obtained beryllium foil, which may adversely affect the transmission performance of X-rays and electron beams. However, in the present invention, since the second rolling process in which BN is not applied is performed after the thickness of the beryllium foil becomes a predetermined threshold value or less, BN is added to the finally obtained beryllium foil. Does not remain. In addition, in the second rolling process, despite the fact that BN is not used, the sheath and the beryllium plate hardly adhere to each other, and the occurrence of defects is effectively suppressed. As a result, according to the production method of the present invention, a beryllium foil having a thickness of about 10 μm, a small defect density, a small amount of leakage, excellent vacuum tightness, and no solid lubricant remaining during rolling can be obtained. .

なお、第1の圧延工程から第2の圧延工程に切り替える際、第1の圧延工程後のベリリウム箔にはBNが残留しているが、最終的にそのBNがベリリウム箔に残留しないのは、おそらくその後の第2の圧延工程においてベリリウム箔上のBNがシース側に付着して除去されるからと推察している。また、第2の圧延工程では、ベリリウム箔とシースとの間にBNを塗布していないにもかかわらず、ベリリウム箔とシースとが密着してしまうことがないが、その理由は第1の圧延でベリリウムの表面に残留しているBNが第2の圧延中に除去されつつ、密着防止の効果も持続していることによるものと推察する。   Note that when switching from the first rolling process to the second rolling process, BN remains in the beryllium foil after the first rolling process, but the BN does not remain in the beryllium foil in the end. Presumably, BN on the beryllium foil adheres to the sheath side and is removed in the subsequent second rolling step. In the second rolling step, the beryllium foil and the sheath do not adhere to each other even though BN is not applied between the beryllium foil and the sheath. It is assumed that BN remaining on the surface of beryllium is removed during the second rolling and that the effect of preventing adhesion is maintained.

本発明の超薄膜ベリリウム箔によれば、厚さが非常に薄いため、X線や電子線が透過しやすくエネルギーロスが少ない。しかも、超薄膜であるにもかかわらず気体がほとんどリークしない。また、ベリリウム箔としては異例の1000mm2以上という大面積であるため、例えばX線用窓材や電子線用窓材を大型化することができる。 According to the ultra-thin beryllium foil of the present invention, since the thickness is very thin, X-rays and electron beams are easily transmitted and there is little energy loss. In addition, the gas hardly leaks despite the ultrathin film. Moreover, since it is an unusual large area of 1000 mm < 2 > or more as beryllium foil, the window material for X-rays and the window material for electron beams can be enlarged, for example.

本発明の超薄膜ベリリウム箔の製造方法において、第1の圧延工程では、ベリリウム箔とステンレス鋼からなる一対のシースとの間に固体潤滑剤であるBNを塗布してなる積層体を作製し、該積層体の熱間圧延加工を繰り返し行う。また、 第2の圧延工程では、ベリリウム箔とステンレス鋼からなる一対のシースとの間にBNを塗布することなく積層体を作製し、該積層体の熱間圧延加工を繰り返し行う。   In the manufacturing method of the ultra-thin beryllium foil of the present invention, in the first rolling step, a laminate formed by applying BN, which is a solid lubricant, between a pair of sheaths made of beryllium foil and stainless steel, The laminate is repeatedly subjected to hot rolling. In the second rolling step, a laminate is produced without applying BN between the beryllium foil and a pair of sheaths made of stainless steel, and the hot rolling of the laminate is repeated.

ここで、ベリリウム箔としては、特に限定されないが、純度98%以上のものが好ましく、特に純度が99%以上のものがより好ましい。シースとしては、軟鋼やステンレス鋼製が望ましいが、ステンレス鋼については、オーステナイト系ステンレス鋼製(例えばSUS304,SUS316など)やマルテンサイト系ステンレス鋼製(例えばSUS403など)、フェライト系ステンレス鋼製(例えばSUS405など)が挙げられる。このうちオーステナイト系ステンレス鋼製のものがより好ましい。固体潤滑剤としては、BNを使用する。二硫化モリブデンなど他の固体潤滑剤では、圧延時の温度に対し十分な耐熱性が無いため、ベリリウム箔とシースとの密着を有効に防止することができないからである。BNは、スプレーで塗布してもよいし、ローラーやハケで塗布してもよい。ベリリウム箔とステンレス鋼からなる一対のシースとの間に固体潤滑剤であるBNを塗布してなる積層体は、ベリリウム箔を挟み込んだ一対のシース同士を溶接やロウ付け等で一体化した上で、熱間圧延加工するのが好ましい。ステンレス鋼からなるシースは、熱間圧延加工を繰り返すにつれて徐々に硬くなり延性が低下する。このため、熱間圧延加工の加工率は、延性が維持される範囲で適宜設定するのが好ましい。なお、延性が維持されるとは、圧延の前後でシースの延びが確認できることをいう。熱間圧延加工では、圧延温度を300〜1000℃の間で設定するのが好ましく、500〜700℃の間で設定するのがより好ましい。また、圧延機としては、通常市販されているもの、例えば2段圧延機を利用すればよい。   Here, the beryllium foil is not particularly limited, but preferably has a purity of 98% or more, and more preferably has a purity of 99% or more. The sheath is preferably made of mild steel or stainless steel, but the stainless steel is made of austenitic stainless steel (eg SUS304, SUS316 etc.), martensitic stainless steel (eg SUS403 etc.), ferritic stainless steel (eg SUS405 etc.). Of these, those made of austenitic stainless steel are more preferred. BN is used as the solid lubricant. This is because other solid lubricants such as molybdenum disulfide do not have sufficient heat resistance with respect to the temperature during rolling, and thus the adhesion between the beryllium foil and the sheath cannot be effectively prevented. BN may be applied by spraying, or may be applied by a roller or a brush. The laminated body formed by applying BN, which is a solid lubricant, between a beryllium foil and a pair of stainless steel sheaths is obtained by integrating a pair of sheaths sandwiching the beryllium foil by welding or brazing. It is preferable to perform hot rolling. The sheath made of stainless steel is gradually hardened and the ductility is lowered as hot rolling is repeated. For this reason, it is preferable to set the processing rate of the hot rolling process appropriately within a range in which ductility is maintained. Note that maintaining ductility means that the extension of the sheath can be confirmed before and after rolling. In hot rolling, the rolling temperature is preferably set between 300 and 1000 ° C, more preferably between 500 and 700 ° C. Moreover, what is necessary is just to utilize what is marketed normally, for example, a two-high mill, as a rolling mill.

本発明の超薄膜ベリリウム箔の製造方法において、ベリリウム箔の厚さが15〜60μmの間で定められた所定のしきい値以下になっていない場合には、第1の圧延工程を繰り返し実行し、その後、ベリリウム箔の厚さがしきい値以下になった場合には、第2の圧延工程をベリリウム箔の厚さが5〜20μmの間でしきい値より小さい値に定められた目標厚さになるまで繰り返し実行する。   In the manufacturing method of the ultra-thin beryllium foil of the present invention, when the thickness of the beryllium foil is not less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value defined between 15 to 60 μm, the first rolling step is repeatedly executed. Then, when the thickness of the beryllium foil falls below the threshold value, the second rolling process is performed to a target thickness that is set to a value smaller than the threshold value when the thickness of the beryllium foil is between 5 and 20 μm. Repeat until

ここで、しきい値は、ベリリウム箔の厚さが15〜60μmの間で定められている。しきい値が15μm未満の場合には、BNの塗布が難しいため好ましくない。また、しきい値が60μmを超える場合には、第2の圧延工程で、BNが完全に無くなり、ステンレス鋼と密着する可能性が高いため好ましくない。また、目標厚さは、5〜20μmの間で定められている。目標厚さが5μm未満の場合には、厚さが薄すぎて熱間圧延加工を実行する際に破損しやすいため好ましくない。また、目標厚さが20μmを超える場合には、第2の圧延工程だけでも良好なベリリウム箔を得ることが出来るため、本発明の方法を適用する意義が低い。このように極めて薄いベリリウム箔は、他の方法では作製するのが極めて困難であるため、本発明の方法を適用する意義が高い。   Here, the threshold value is determined when the thickness of the beryllium foil is between 15 and 60 μm. When the threshold value is less than 15 μm, it is difficult to apply BN, which is not preferable. In addition, when the threshold value exceeds 60 μm, BN is completely eliminated in the second rolling step, which is not preferable because there is a high possibility of being in close contact with stainless steel. The target thickness is determined between 5 and 20 μm. When the target thickness is less than 5 μm, it is not preferable because the thickness is too thin and is easily damaged when hot rolling is performed. In addition, when the target thickness exceeds 20 μm, a good beryllium foil can be obtained only by the second rolling step, so that the significance of applying the method of the present invention is low. Such an extremely thin beryllium foil is extremely difficult to produce by other methods, and therefore, the significance of applying the method of the present invention is high.

本発明の超薄膜ベリリウム箔の製造方法において、シースは、カーボン含有率0.03重量%以下のステンレス鋼からなることが好ましい。カーボン含有率が0.03重量%を超えるステンレス鋼からなるシースを用いて熱間圧延加工を行うと、ステンレス鋼が鋭敏化により脆弱になりやすく、シースから結晶粒が脱落してベリリウム箔に押し込まれ、穴を開けることがある。そのように結晶粒が脱落するのは、熱間加工時に結晶粒界にカーボンが集まって起こる鋭敏化が原因と考えられる。   In the method for producing an ultrathin beryllium foil of the present invention, the sheath is preferably made of stainless steel having a carbon content of 0.03% by weight or less. When hot rolling is performed using a sheath made of stainless steel having a carbon content of over 0.03% by weight, the stainless steel tends to become brittle due to sensitization, and crystal grains fall off from the sheath and are pushed into the beryllium foil. And may make holes. It is thought that the crystal grains fall off due to the sensitization caused by carbon gathering at the crystal grain boundaries during hot working.

本発明の超薄膜ベリリウム箔は、厚さ5〜20μm、面積1000mm2以上、光透過により測定される欠陥個数がゼロのものである。こうした超薄膜ベリリウム箔は、上述した超薄膜ベリリウム箔の製造方法で厚さ5〜20μmのベリリウム箔を作製したあと、欠陥個数がゼロで面積の大きなところを切り出すことにより得ることができる。欠陥個数は、超薄膜ベリリウム箔の裏面から光を照射したときに表側に光が透過した部位をカウントしたものである。この超薄膜ベリリウム箔は、空気の漏れ試験を行ったときに、リークレート値が1×10-8Pa・m3/sec以下であることが好ましく、リークレート値が1×10-10Pa・m3/sec以下であることがより好ましい。リークレートに対する要求値は、使用される用途において必要な真空度により、変わるが、リークレートが小さいほど、より高真空度を必要とする用途で使用することが可能である。 The ultra-thin beryllium foil of the present invention has a thickness of 5 to 20 μm, an area of 1000 mm 2 or more, and zero defects measured by light transmission. Such an ultra-thin beryllium foil can be obtained by producing a beryllium foil having a thickness of 5 to 20 μm by the above-described method for producing an ultra-thin beryllium foil and then cutting out a large area with zero defects. The number of defects is the number of sites where light is transmitted to the front side when light is irradiated from the back surface of the ultrathin beryllium foil. The ultra-thin beryllium foil preferably has a leak rate value of 1 × 10 −8 Pa · m 3 / sec or less when an air leak test is performed, and has a leak rate value of 1 × 10 −10 Pa · More preferably, it is m 3 / sec or less. The required value for the leak rate varies depending on the degree of vacuum required in the application to be used. However, the smaller the leak rate, the higher the degree of vacuum can be used.

[General procedure]
A: The 1st rolling process was implemented with the following procedures. A series of operations of procedures A1 to A6 is referred to as a channel (ch).
(Procedure A1) BN was sprayed on both surfaces of the beryllium foil of the product to be processed. In the first time, a beryllium foil (thickness 1 mm) having a purity of 99% or more was prepared, and a product with a thickness of 750 μm and a width of 120 mm was obtained by polishing.
(Procedure A2) A beryllium foil sprayed with BN was sandwiched between a pair of sheaths made of SUS304 (carbon content 0.07% by weight), and the outer periphery was TIG welded to obtain a laminate. A plan view and a cross-sectional view of this laminate are shown in FIG.
(Procedure A3) The laminate was heated and held at a predetermined rolling temperature in an electric furnace.
(Procedure A4) A two-high rolling mill having a structure for rolling plate material with upper and lower rolls was prepared, and a gap between rolls was set.
(Procedure A5) The heated laminate was rolled between rolls.
(Procedure A6) The above-described procedures A3 to A5 were repeated and rolled to a predetermined thickness. Specifically, the procedure A3 and subsequent steps were carried out using the beryllium foil obtained in the procedure A6 as a new product. The number of passes between the rolls of the two-high rolling mill is referred to as the number of passes. Since the sheath becomes harder as the number of passes increases, the number of passes is set empirically within a range in which the ductility of the sheath is maintained.

B:第2の圧延工程は、以下の手順により実施した。なお、手順B1〜B5の一連の操作もチャンネル(ch)と称する。
(手順B1)加工対象品のベリリウム箔の両面にBNをスプレーすることなく、SUS304(カーボン含有率0.07重量%)製の一対のシースで挟み込み、外周8箇所をTIG溶接して積層体とした。
(手順B2)積層体を電気炉中で所定の圧延温度に加熱し保持した。
(手順B3)上下ロールで板材を圧延する構造の2段圧延機を用意し、ロール間ギャップを設定した。
(手順B4)加熱した積層体をロール間に通して圧延した。
(手順B5)上述した手順B2〜B4を繰り返した。具体的には、手順B4で得られたベリリウム箔を新たに加工対象品として手順B2以降を実施した。また、パス回数が多くなるにつれてシースが硬くなるため、経験的にシースの延性が維持される範囲でパス回数を設定した。なお、手順B2〜B5は上述した手順A3〜A6と同じである。
B: The 2nd rolling process was implemented with the following procedures. Note that a series of operations in steps B1 to B5 is also referred to as a channel (ch).
(Procedure B1) Without spraying BN on both sides of the beryllium foil of the product to be processed, sandwiched by a pair of sheaths made of SUS304 (carbon content 0.07% by weight), and TIG welding the outer periphery 8 locations did.
(Procedure B2) The laminate was heated and held at a predetermined rolling temperature in an electric furnace.
(Procedure B3) A two-high rolling mill having a structure for rolling plate material with upper and lower rolls was prepared, and a gap between rolls was set.
(Procedure B4) The heated laminate was rolled between rolls.
(Procedure B5) The procedures B2 to B4 described above were repeated. Specifically, the procedure B2 and subsequent steps were carried out using the beryllium foil obtained in the procedure B4 as a new workpiece. In addition, since the sheath becomes harder as the number of passes increases, the number of passes is set within a range in which the ductility of the sheath is empirically maintained. Note that the procedures B2 to B5 are the same as the procedures A3 to A6 described above.

[実施例1]
第1の圧延工程から第2の圧延工程へ切り替えるしきい値を60μmとし、目標厚み10μm及び15μmのベリリウム箔を製作した。圧延温度は650−700℃とし、シースにはステンレス鋼SUS304材を使用した。1〜6chまでは第1の圧延工程を採用したが、6ch終了後にベリリウム箔の厚さがしきい値である60μm以下になったため、7ch以降は第2の圧延工程を採用し、目標厚みとなるまで圧延を行った。作業完了後の作業完了後のベリリウム箔の欠陥密度を求めたところ、10μmで0.68個/cm2、15μmで0.05個/cm2であった(表1参照)。欠陥は丸穴であり、破断箇所(裂け目)は見られなかった。なお、欠陥密度は、現像フィルムを見るための白色光源の上にベリリウム箔を置き、光が透過した箇所(欠陥)の総数を計測し、ベリリウム箔の面積でその総数を除した値とした。また、作業完了後のベリリウム箔のホウ素残留の有無を確認するために、SEMを使用し、500倍で観察したところ、BNの残留が認められず、更に、EDXを使用し、表面の定性分析を行なったが、B及びNの検出ピークは認めらなかった。この作業完了後のベリリウム箔から欠陥個数のゼロの領域を切り出し(面積1000mm2)、アルバック社製のヘリウムリークディテクターを用いて、空気の漏れ量を測定した。測定した結果、リークレートは1×10-10Pa・m3/sec以下であった。

The threshold value for switching from the first rolling process to the second rolling process was set to 60 μm, and beryllium foils having target thicknesses of 10 μm and 15 μm were manufactured. The rolling temperature was 650-700 ° C., and stainless steel SUS304 material was used for the sheath. The first rolling process was adopted for 1 to 6 ch, but the thickness of the beryllium foil became the threshold value of 60 μm or less after the completion of 6 ch, so the second rolling process was adopted after 7 ch until the target thickness was reached. Rolled. When the defect density of the beryllium foil after completion of the work was determined, it was 0.68 pieces / cm 2 at 10 μm and 0.05 pieces / cm 2 at 15 μm (see Table 1). The defect was a round hole, and no fractured portion (fissure) was found. The defect density was a value obtained by placing the beryllium foil on a white light source for viewing the developed film, measuring the total number of locations (defects) through which light was transmitted, and dividing the total by the area of the beryllium foil. In addition, in order to confirm the presence or absence of boron residue in the beryllium foil after completion of the work, when observing at 500 times using SEM, no BN residue was observed, and further, EDX was used to qualitatively analyze the surface. However, no detection peaks for B and N were observed. A region having zero defects was cut out from the beryllium foil after completion of this operation (area: 1000 mm 2 ), and the amount of air leakage was measured using a helium leak detector manufactured by ULVAC. As a result of the measurement, the leak rate was 1 × 10 −10 Pa · m 3 / sec or less.

[実施例2]
第1の圧延工程から第2の圧延工程へ切り替えるしきい値を25μmとし、目標厚み10μm及び15μmのベリリウム箔を製作した。圧延温度は650−700℃とし、シースにはステンレス鋼SUS304材を使用した。1〜9chまでは第1の圧延工程を採用したが、9ch終了後にベリリウム箔の厚さがしきい値である25μm以下になったため、10ch以降は第2の圧延工程を採用し、目標厚みとなるまで圧延を行った。作業完了後のベリリウム箔の欠陥密度を求めたところ、10μmで0.41個/cm2、15μmで0.03個/cm2であった(表1参照)。欠陥は丸穴であり、破断箇所(裂け目)は見られなかった。なお、欠陥密度は、実施例1と同じ方法で計測した。また、作業完了後のベリリウム箔のホウ素残留の有無を確認するために、SEMを使用し、500倍で観察したところ、BNの残留が認められず、更に、EDXを使用し、表面の定性分析を行なったが、B及びNの検出ピークは認めらなかった。この作業完了後のベリリウム箔から欠陥個数のゼロの領域を切り出し(面積1500mm2)、アルバック社製のヘリウムリークディテクターを用いて、空気の漏れ量を測定した。測定した結果、リークレートは1×10-10Pa・m3/sec以下であった。
[Example 2]
A threshold value for switching from the first rolling process to the second rolling process was set to 25 μm, and beryllium foils having target thicknesses of 10 μm and 15 μm were manufactured. The rolling temperature was 650-700 ° C., and stainless steel SUS304 material was used for the sheath. The first rolling process was adopted up to 1 to 9 ch, but after the completion of 9 ch, the thickness of the beryllium foil became 25 μm or less, which is the threshold value, and the second rolling process was adopted after 10 ch until the target thickness was reached. Rolled. The defect density of the beryllium foil after completion of the work was determined to be 0.41 / cm 2 at 10 μm and 0.03 / cm 2 at 15 μm (see Table 1). The defect was a round hole, and no fractured portion (fissure) was found. The defect density was measured by the same method as in Example 1. In addition, in order to confirm the presence or absence of boron residue in the beryllium foil after completion of the work, when observing at 500 times using SEM, no BN residue was observed, and further, EDX was used to qualitatively analyze the surface. However, no detection peaks for B and N were observed. A region having zero defects was cut out from the beryllium foil after completion of this operation (area 1500 mm 2 ), and the amount of air leakage was measured using a helium leak detector manufactured by ULVAC. As a result of the measurement, the leak rate was 1 × 10 −10 Pa · m 3 / sec or less.

[実施例3]
第1の圧延工程から第2の圧延工程へ切り替えるしきい値を15μmとし、目標厚み10μmのベリリウム箔を製作した。圧延温度は650−700℃とし、シースにはステンレス鋼SUS304材を使用した。1〜11chまでは第1の圧延工程を採用したが、11ch終了後にベリリウム箔の厚さがしきい値である15μm以下になったため、12ch以降は第2の圧延工程を採用し、目標厚みとなるまで圧延を行った。作業完了後のベリリウム箔の欠陥密度を求めたところ、0.31個/cm2であった(表1参照)。欠陥は丸穴であり、破断箇所(裂け目)は見られなかった。なお、欠陥密度は、実施例1と同じ方法で計測した。また、作業完了後のベリリウム箔のホウ素残留の有無を確認するために、SEMを使用し、500倍で観察したところ、BNの残留が認められず、更に、EDXを使用し、表面の定性分析を行なったが、B及びNの検出ピークは認めらなかった。この作業完了後のベリリウム箔から欠陥個数のゼロの領域を切り出し(面積1800mm2)、アルバック社製のヘリウムリークディテクターを用いて、空気の漏れ量を測定した。測定した結果、リークレートは1×10-10Pa・m3/sec以下であった。
[Example 3]
A threshold value for switching from the first rolling process to the second rolling process was set to 15 μm, and a beryllium foil having a target thickness of 10 μm was manufactured. The rolling temperature was 650-700 ° C., and stainless steel SUS304 material was used for the sheath. The first rolling process was adopted up to 1 to 11 ch, but after the end of 11 ch, the thickness of the beryllium foil became the threshold value of 15 μm or less, so the second rolling process was adopted after 12 ch until the target thickness was reached. Rolled. The defect density of the beryllium foil after the completion of the work was found to be 0.31 piece / cm 2 (see Table 1). The defect was a round hole, and no fractured portion (fissure) was found. The defect density was measured by the same method as in Example 1. In addition, in order to confirm the presence or absence of boron residue in the beryllium foil after completion of the work, when observing at 500 times using SEM, no BN residue was observed, and further, EDX was used to qualitatively analyze the surface. However, no detection peaks for B and N were observed. A region with zero defects was cut out from the beryllium foil after completion of this operation (area: 1800 mm 2 ), and the amount of air leakage was measured using a helium leak detector manufactured by ULVAC. As a result of the measurement, the leak rate was 1 × 10 −10 Pa · m 3 / sec or less.

[比較例1]
1ch目からすべて第2の圧延工程(つまりBN不使用)を実施し、ベリリウム箔の厚さが10μmとなったところで作業を完了したところ、作業完了後のベリリウム箔の欠陥密度は7.02個/cm2であった(表1参照)。これは、実施例1〜3の欠陥密度の約10〜20倍である。また、作業完了後のベリリウム箔から欠陥個数のゼロの領域をできるだけ大面積となるように選び出したところ、その面積は100mm2程度であった。こうして得られた欠陥個数ゼロのベリリウム箔につき、空気の漏れ量を測定したところ、7×10-9Pa・m3/secであった。
[Comparative Example 1]
The second rolling process (that is, no BN) was performed from the first channel, and the work was completed when the thickness of the beryllium foil reached 10 μm. The defect density of the beryllium foil after the work was 7.02 / Cm 2 (see Table 1). This is about 10 to 20 times the defect density of Examples 1 to 3. Further, when the area having zero defects was selected from the beryllium foil after completion of the operation so as to have as large an area as possible, the area was about 100 mm 2 . With respect to the beryllium foil having zero defects thus obtained, the amount of air leakage was measured and found to be 7 × 10 −9 Pa · m 3 / sec.

ここで、実施例1〜3につき、しきい値(第1の圧延工程と第2の圧延工程を切り替える厚み)と厚み10μmでの欠陥密度との関係を示すグラフを図2に示す。第1の圧延工程が目標厚みに近いところまで実施されるほど欠陥密度が小さくなることが分かる。実施例1〜3の欠陥は丸穴であったため、圧延工程でシースがベリリウム箔に押し込まれたことにより発生したと考えられる。また、実施例1〜3では、シースの材料としてSUS304(カーボン含有量 規格値0.08重量%以下、実測値0.07重量%)を採用したが、SUS304L(カーボン含有量 規格値0.03重量%以下、実測値0.02重量%)を採用すれば、シースからの粒子の脱落を有効に防止することができるため、欠陥密度が一層小さくなると推察される。ここで、SUS304の小片とSUS304Lの小片を、電気炉にて700℃で60分熱処理を施した後、JIS G0571(ステンレス鋼のシュウ酸エッチング試験)に準じた耐腐食性試験を実施した。具体的には、熱処理を施した試験片を樹脂に埋め込んだ後、鏡面研磨を施し、シュウ酸で腐食させ、光学顕微鏡(400倍)でミクロ観察して腐食程度を評価した。そうしたところ、SUS304Lの小片では、腐食後も熱処理前の結晶構造を維持していたのに対し、SUS304の小片では、粒界が際立ってくっきりと見え、鋭敏化により脆弱となり、粒子が脱落しやすい状態になった。このことから、SUS304L製のシースを使用すれば、実施例1〜3に比べて欠陥密度が一層小さくなるといえる。   Here, for Examples 1 to 3, a graph showing the relationship between the threshold value (thickness at which the first rolling process and the second rolling process are switched) and the defect density at a thickness of 10 μm is shown in FIG. 2. It can be seen that the defect density decreases as the first rolling process is performed to a point near the target thickness. Since the defect of Examples 1-3 was a round hole, it is thought that it generate | occur | produced when the sheath was pushed into beryllium foil at the rolling process. In Examples 1 to 3, SUS304 (carbon content standard value 0.08% by weight or less, measured value 0.07% by weight) was adopted as the material of the sheath, but SUS304L (carbon content standard value 0.03%). If the weight% or less and the measured value 0.02% by weight) are employed, it is presumed that the particle density from the sheath can be effectively prevented, so that the defect density is further reduced. Here, the SUS304 piece and the SUS304L piece were heat-treated at 700 ° C. for 60 minutes in an electric furnace, and then subjected to a corrosion resistance test according to JIS G0571 (stainless steel oxalic acid etching test). Specifically, after the heat-treated test piece was embedded in the resin, it was mirror-polished, corroded with oxalic acid, and microscopically observed with an optical microscope (400 times) to evaluate the degree of corrosion. As a result, the SUS304L small piece maintained the crystal structure before the heat treatment even after corrosion, whereas the SUS304 small piece made the grain boundary stand out clearly, became fragile due to sensitization, and the particles easily fall off. It became a state. From this, it can be said that if a sheath made of SUS304L is used, the defect density is further reduced as compared with Examples 1-3.

本発明は、非常に薄いベリリウム箔が要求される技術分野、例えばX線用窓材や電子線用窓材に利用可能である。   The present invention can be used in technical fields where very thin beryllium foil is required, for example, X-ray window materials and electron beam window materials.
